Topic
Maintain to Sustain
ASHRAE Past Society President William Harrison will present his theme from his term as president in 2008-2009. Maintain to Sustain – Delivering ASHRAE’s Sustainability Promise, will challenge ASHRAE to produce the tools required to deliver on that promise after construction is complete and the contractor has left the site.
Speaker
William Harrison, President, Trane Arkansas, Little Rock , Ark.
As ASHRAE’s president, Harrison directs the Society’s Board of Directors and oversees the Executive Committee. His presidential theme, Maintain to Sustain – Delivering ASHRAE’s Sustainability Promise, focuses on operating buildings to deliver the energy efficiency inherent in their design, including effective commissioning, improved documentation, and programs to educate and certify building operators.
“If the studies are accurate, we have a no-regrets method to reduce energy use in buildings by 10 to 40 percent, solely by improving building operations,” Harrison said. “All we have to do is communicate and educate more effectively. It is our duty. We are pledged to deliver ASHRAE’s promise of sustainability, and to do that we must maintain to sustain, we must train to sustain, and we must influence the operation of our buildings to conserve energy. “
He also is chair of the Headquarters Building Renovation Committee. He has served as president-elect, treasurer, vice president, Region VIII director and regional chair, chair of Member Council, Technology Council and the Finance Committee, a member of the Nominating Committee, and vice chair of the Refrigeration Committee and the Society Rules Committee. Harrison was president of the Shreveport Chapter.
He has received the Distinguished Service Award.
Harrison received a Bachelor of Science in industrial engineering from the University of Arkansas.
